Anyone ever seen or happen to own a Neutron Silver 2009 model? Everywhere I've looked indicates that Neutron Silver was only offered in 2008, but my local dealer has a leftover `09 in this color. And yes, the VIN indicates it's a 2009 model. (JKBZGNB1199A010XXX)
You might have found an anomaly.
Character #10, the one you highlighted, is the model year designator, with "9" = MY2009. So, I would assume it is an anomoly, or a wrecked bike with all body panels painted or replaced with Neutron Silver. Could it be a Canada or European bike? Not sure if Neutron Silver was offered there in '09? One last thing, and I am sure its just a typo, but your VIN has 18 digits in it. The C-14 VIN has only 17 digits. My guess is that you double-typed the "9" in question before the "A". Does it actually read, "JKBZGNB119A010XXX"?We get the same colors as US. Interesting..... I would investigate history of that bike further. Perhaps a phone call to Kawa Mama is all you need to do to verify its status.
Black and Red were the only colors offered in 2009.

Black and red.
And I don't know what an anomoly is. :-\
Stay away from it! You will instantly be seen as an owner of "one of them old '08's". You will be neglected,outcast,downtrodden, and ostracised by your freinds. Besides, everyone knows that the black ones are faster and are chick magnets! ::)
But do keep us posted on the outcome.
Where are you located?
Did you get the VIN directly from the bike, or from the dealer's paperwork? I wonder if they had some kind of inventory mix-up and there's someone else out there riding around on a "red '08."
I bet they had an 08 and someone didn't like the color.......

Way to go! But now some poor fellow is out there ridin around on an '09 that everyone thinks is one them old '08s :)
I'm sure they'll figure it out when it passes other 08 Silverdammits... ;)
Well, I didn't make it back over to the dealer until today and naturally the bike in question had sold. Fortunately for me they had already brought out another 2009 - this one black - and it ended up following me home.
It is a shame you settled for the slow color!
